Securing an experienced professional for your surprise proposal is an absolute must. We’ve all heard those stories—photographers who, oops, let the cat out of the bag too early, miss the key moment, or otherwise diminish the experience.

But that’s not us, and that’s precisely why choosing the right NYC proposal photographer for this once-in-a-lifetime event is so important. It’s your opportunity to entrust this beautiful milestone in your relationship to someone who will deliver photographs worth framing and cherishing forever.

I want to give a massive shoutout to the Kiss Me in New York team. Working with Vincent to set up a surprise shoot for our engagement this past weekend in NYC was an absolute delight.

Our photographer, Blaine, did an extraordinary job capturing the magical moment when I proposed to my (now) fiancée in Central Park. Blaine went above and beyond, scouting the perfect location and keeping me updated every step of the way. His dedication truly made all the difference.

Blaine made us feel completely at ease during the post-proposal photoshoot. The Kiss Me in New York team has an incredible talent for capturing stunning candid shots while seamlessly blending into the surroundings. Our engagement photos are breathtaking; Central Park’s iconic backdrop is already picturesque, but Blaine’s skill elevated the images to true masterpieces, with our emotions beautifully shining through.

We will forever cherish these exquisite engagement photos. If you want your special occasion immortalized through dazzling photography, look no further than Kiss Me in New York. We are profoundly grateful to them for helping us preserve such a magical chapter of our lives.

Managing crowded, public locations for surprise proposals in the Big Apple is all part of the adventure. The City’s lively energy only adds to the enchantment, but we recognize the importance of that perfect, intimate moment.

We recommend a sunrise proposal for popular spots like the Brooklyn Bridge or Central Park, allowing for relative serenity as the City wakes up.

Alternatively, enlisting a helpful associate to subtly manage the area during your significant moment can make all the difference.

While we always aim to meet your needs and might sometimes manage to shift dates, our steadfast policy does not permit refunds for cancellations. Booking your day means our photographer pledges their heart and time to you alone, often saying no to other opportunities to guarantee you their full commitment.
